Knights of Pen and Paper dev's new game Chroma Squad hits Kickstarter goal

Knights of Pen and Paper developer Behold Studios has successfully Kickstarted its new project, Chroma Squad. The game follows a group of stuntmen who open their own "sentai" TV studio, a base to film stories about costumed heroes teaming up to defeat big beasts a la Power Rangers or Captain Planet.

Chroma Squad passed its $55,000 goal with 16 days to go, and (as of this writing) has 2,505 backers who've pledged $60,870.

Player must manage the entire studio by purchasing equipment, hiring actors and enduring an inability to tell what is reality and what is part of the show. The game also features various role-playing game elements and tactical turn-based combat.

Chroma Squad is scheduled to combine its powers, connect the lions, and call upon Zordon in late 2013 on PC, Mac and Linux. While the game has a stint on Steam Greenlight, Behold Studios is planning a tablet version for iOS and Android in mid-2014, as well as potential console ports for PS4 and Xbox One in late 2014.
